Daffodils
Where are your restrictions
in the song of the mute?
A place where your convictions
fail to constrict the root
of desperate expression
found in her version,
Because when it gets Harder to Breathe
she needs relief
she knows Where Not to Look For Freedom
in this Funhouse
hear the sound
of a Second Chance
and turn around
to you and say
Have a Nice Day.
For where are your chains
in the words of the forgotten?
You sympathizers of Cain
that take on the precaution
of judgement and damnation
against any free creation,
So she runs off to where
Hope is the thing with feathers
exactly when, no one cares
or sees
her and Clarisse
watch Dustfinger play with fire
upon his grave
while Dorian prayed with desire
his soul he gave
to Screwtape waiting in the mire.
And where are your ropes
in the hands of the crippled?
When a pencil is used to cope
within your world of stressful riddle
questioning whether the German owns the fish
or was the interpretation a wish,
In ink or paint
or simple graphite
a picture drawn faint
can be seen at night
with the heart of the artist
clouded in the mist
of the symbolism surveyed
from her unknown trade.
Where are your molds
in the minds of the weary?
Your blasphemy of the bold
leaves even Goliath teary
with self-doubt and shame
but she refuses to play your game,
And finds shelter in Longfellow
refuge in the mellow
or passionate thoughts of the old
stirring intellect untold
she searches for that nautical shell
O Captain! My Captain,
escape from this hell
claiming Invictus
all’s well that ends well.
So tell me,
where are your molds,
your restrictions, your ropes,
and chains
from your burdening pain?
You cannot put limitations
on Imagination
on Interpretation
no condemnation
no superficial justification
can touch Me,
I mean, her..
when she is free.
